Annoying calls ........
 
How do I stop these fucking tele-marketers that start calling every morning at 9 am. Like most here I go to bed late, usually wake up around 11 am. These guys are killing me ..... I just moved into a new house, does this happen everytime someone gets a new phone number or did I somehow get on an idiot list?

Thanks man, I'm going to get that as well. I function perfect on 5-6 hours of sleep but loosing 2 hours is 40%! Make me grumpy dick the rest of the day.

I have fun with them. Had one call me trying to sell dial up internet. When thru the whole thing. Got all signed up under fake info, then when he asked for credit card number, I asked if he took food stamps. :1orglaugh Damn it was funny.

When I moved into my house it was fucking insane. Finally got them under control now.

tell them to stop harrassing you. if they keep doing it you can tell them they are in violation of the telemarketing act.

I just don't answer those calls. I let my machine get it every time, and if it's someone legit they usually leave a message. Once they start talking, if I want to talk to them I pick up.

If a certain telemarketer gets out of hand with the calls though, I've been known to "Andy Rooney" them and answer, then say "just a second, I have something on the stove, hang on please".... then put the reciever down and go back to whatever it was I was doing and leave them hanging there in limbo.

I've had to do that only once, was with Capital One. They were insideous, but after I did that they got the hint and stopped calling completely. And yes, I did ask them to take me off their list prior to that. They didn't.
